I think GP is just trying to make sure we're comparing apples to apples. To me it almost comes across as you cherry picking data (average house price vs median salary).
- MisterBastahrd 5y agoIt's just the data that's available. The median house price so far this year is over $390K, by the way. The earlier value was for last year.
